Look at this cute little face! Gonna shade this once it’s attached to the rest of the bear.

I bought some inktense blocks to try out for shading. They are great for under shading colours on fabric pads but I ended up using my intense pencils using the water dip method to get the fine edging details though.

Finished face and head is now attached to the body. What a cutie this one is going to be when finished!
-
My sewing machine disliked the leather/suede material so I ended up handstitching the feet paw pads rather than risking the suede. The bear has now been jointed and the head stuffed. Next step is finishing the head before it’s jointed to the body.

Decided to make ooak teddy bears to get rid of excess fur stock. This is a cute panda design in black and cream/gold sparkles with a soft white muzzle and suede paws. It’s gonna look so cute!

3 iterations of cardboard prototype & 2 paper patterns versions later, I have what I hope will become a successful foam mask. Foam often requires bevels for the shapes to read & hold properly, sadly beveling cardboard doesn’t really work. So I cut all the foam pieces with straight edges and worked out the bevels…

Owlbear by #missmonstermel painted with reference to a horned owl and a panda. Painted using atelier acrylics.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that this is not a tail I ever wish to remake. First pic is the pieces for the first 2 segments, took about 2 hours to extract. Finally, 3 days and multiple cuttings sessions later, I present the rolls of pattern. 😵💫

Miwak’s headbase is largely completed. No eyelids yet as still need to hook up the leds. I am also loving how well this fits me; it doesn’t slip at all & the jaw movement is partially kinetic with the slack taken up by the springs
